    “ Centrist Bloc Loses Majority In EU (CNBC)”

    Might matter if the EU was a democracy, but it’s not. Parliament is purely an advisory role, like the Soviet Union or Communist China, the unelected, unaccountable EU bureaucracy makes the policy and decisions.

    “is likely to push the Conservative leadership candidates into hardline positions on leaving the EU.”

    Just as I said 3 years ago, they have no choice but a no-deal Brexit. They’re paying the bills, there’s no way the EU will let a helpless tax-donkey off the ranch. Congratulations: you’ve now wasted 3 years, this could all be over! And you still have to no-deal anyway.

    “his new party swept to victory in the United Kingdom’s European Parliament election,”

    This suggests that Brexit is more popular than the media portrays, and that a 2nd referendum might lose again, doesn’t it? Media, pollsters, Westminster, lying??? Heavens! “Hillary Clinton is up by 12%.”

    “During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.” ― George Orwell

    “But now it’s the very same Guardian that feels threatened.”

    Welcome to the party. PS also the Guardian who is still sitting on treasure troves of further material and refusing to publish it, like good little billionaire toadies and statists. Not printing the truth? That’s journalism! Or it is now anyway. Don’t worry, tomorrow they will smear him again, on fake news, without fact-checking. They only care about their OWN skin and jobs, because their actions prove they are narcissistic sociopaths.

    “S&P 500 Would Be 19% Lower Between 2011 And Q1 2019 Without Buybacks (CNBC) “

    This is the money fire hose that makes millionaires, billionaires, while the rest of their nations in the U.S. and Britain collapse into ruin, lacking food or water to drink. But more, this is not S&P GAINS, heavens, no. These companies took on overwhelming, crushing DEBT, did not invest it in people or R&D, have no sales and no market, and are now so far out on a limb a sparrow could collapse them. So don’t cry for me Argentina when the inevitable inevitably occurs. But dumb? Nope, they’ll have jumped out with a golden parachute, leaving the companies and their nations in flames.

    “Shanghai’s Pudong Development Bank was fined for using 1,493 shell companies to hide non-performing loans.”

    And China only learns from the best.

    Thanks Raul for bringing Karen Dalton from obscurity. My obscurity anyway. I got to read about her life and sad end. Is it not usually like that? The pain tends to refine the musical expression to its essence. No pain no gain? Janis comes to mind.
    She is not a voice for everyone like Iris DeMent is not either. But heck, for everyone else you’ve got Beyonce and Britney Spears…

    “Is it safe to say Karen had a fairly depressive side to her?
    I don’t know. I don’t remember Karen being a depressive person. You know, what was going on in this world was enough to depress anybody. Also, of course, I know she was frustrated by her lack of recognition and success. And it was hard for her to do much about that. All those things added up. And I think what was happening to our planet affected her more than most people. So it wasn’t just her personal life, and, anyway, I don’t think she was more depressed than just about anybody else who was living in poverty, broke and hungry most of the time. It’s not a real happy existence for a lot of people”

    Touche. “…what was happening to our planet affected her more than most people.”

    Nothing much has changed other than deeper down the drain we go.

    r u and ZH colluding with Russia?
    *Spitballing* = Use of a Bic pen to blow wet paper saliva wads in your face
    2020 = 4 billion people fly per year
    2020 = 25 billion chickens live on earth
    2020 = 98% of all land vertebrate biomass is livestock and human
    2020 = 100% of vertebrate species turning female

    2020 = 100% of vertebrate species penises shrinking

    2060 = 90% of western men infertile

    2050 = 90% of soil gone

    2030 = 40% of people thirsty

    2030 = 40% of people hungry

    2030 = 100% of people won’t give a fuck about socialism

    2030 = emission must be down 50%

    2030 = emissions will be up 15%

    2030 = energy use will be up 10%

    2030 = magnetic field strength down 5%

    1990 – 2020 = 30 years, Russia collapsed 30 years ago

    1990 – 2020 = NGOs + govs + corps promise lower emissions

    1990 – 2020 = NGOs + govs + corps deliver 60% more emissions

    1990 – 2020 = 2% of total world energy is powered by solar/wind

    1990 – 2020 = defense spending up 100% after Russia collapsed 30 years ago

    Predictions:

    2025 = Unstoppable Irreversible Civilizational Collapse tipping point

    2030 = Unstoppable Irreversible Runaway Hothouse Earth tipping point

    2030 = Unstoppable Irreversible Runaway Mass Extinction tipping point

    Nooboob, I’m colluding with Russia without even knowing it.

    Carlos, she’s Billie Holiday all over. I avoided reading about her for now; the sadness is obvious. Curious that it took a French crew to leave us that gem.
